People don't know these things or they assume and project the idea all they did was have power and that's all that needs to be done to maintain it.

Maybe it's our attention spans are shorter to even deal with it, maybe it's just that we are so comfortable in our existence plus so overwhelmed by knowledge that it's easy to just pick parts you like and assume it will all be fine without the struggle. But we are to busy lying to ourselves, and just carrying on as expected I think, to pivot until forced.

Yes. And those people who for some reason are near power are very arrogant and think that abusing it is how you achieve things.

There's been a time in my childhood where I thought that the humanity will become better and kinder, if we make everyone play non-rigged multiplayer games again and again, so that everyone sees how these things really work.

My childhood with Travian and MMOs and WarCraft III and browser RPGs has definitely taught me some things in that area.

Not sure if today's multiplayer games generally lacking this effect (except for Eve, maybe, but it's unplayable with ADHD, thus for me) is a result of some targeted policy (as in conspiracy) or just evolution.
